Room Makeover Essentials
To transform my laundry room from drab to fab, I started by emptying the space, stripping it bare of shelves and existing decor, and preparing it for a fresh new look. This blank canvas allowed me to envision a space that was both functional and beautiful.
I prioritized storage solutions, incorporating a combination of baskets, wire baskets with copper handles, and small wire bread baskets to keep laundry supplies organized and within reach. Next, I selected decor items that added a touch of elegance, such as a vintage shadow box with a laundry illustration and a decorative shelf with a tray and Eiffel tower.
These thoughtful touches set the stage for a glamorous and efficient laundry room that I couldn't wait to put to use.

Hanging a show-stopping Allen + Roth Eberline Pendant light from Lowes above the washer and dryer creates a striking visual anchor, while a decorative shelf with a tray and Eiffel tower adds a touch of whimsy to the space.
